“We like to say it’s easy being green with a little help, a little education, a little support and that sort of thing, it becomes easier and easier. That’s what we do. We come in and we help people through education and through advice, through hands-on support and services consulting with businesses and in the community and with families. I visit schools and other organizations to provide hands-on presentations where the kids get to experience what the environment and sustainable living is all about. The kids actually remember so much more when they get to experience something and for them to learn a topic and actually make realizations about how they impact the environment, can actually change their entire perspective. My role with the organization is to essentially help residents, people in their homes green their homes whatever that looks like for them. It’s a very holistic and personalized look at the home. We are able to tailor every visit to whatever the needs of the homeowner are. I think certainly the main areas are chemical use in the home and saving on utility bills. I think those are the primary concerns when we are going in to a home for the first time. I work on the Green Workplace Program. I’m a Green Workplace Consultant. I help businesses to reduce their environmental impact. Sometimes they don’t really know what their goals are; they just say, “Green our office,” and so we have to come in and help them refine their goals. Is it more around waste-related or is it more energy-related. We’re encouraging businesses to reduce their waste, recycle their waste. I feel like I’m making a difference in the Alberta Recycling climate, Calgarians are really open to the message. They’re a city where we really appreciate the beautiful environment that we have. I think the city of Calgary has set some excellent sustainability goals for the community and people are from all sectors are interested in being part of reaching those goals. I think a lot of people, they want to make change and they just don’t know where to start. That’s where we come in. www.greencalgary.org. People often need a helping hand and that friendly support. That’s what we’re here to do. I think it makes a big difference.”

Cliff Stevenson: Calgary Real Estate Agent and REALTOR®
Long before becoming a Calgary Real Estate Agent and REALTOR®…
After graduating from the University of Regina with a BA in Economics, I moved to Calgary to work for one of those large companies that make you feel like a number…..and not much else. I knew Calgary was where I wanted to be having been born here, and having spent several summers here, but I knew the job I had was less then fulfilling.
In 2005 I decided to take the real estate course to gain further knowledge on the real estate process. I was involved in some investment groups, and I figured if we were going to work with an agent, I would like to know what they know. To be honest, I had no intention of finishing off the course and becoming a Calgary Real Estate Agent and REALTOR®. The summer of 2005 involved work during the week, and the real estate course on nights and weekends. During this time, I had several people suggest that I give them a call when I had my licence, and this is when I changed my mind. I would get my licence, and I would dabble as a Calgary Real Estate Agent and REALTOR® part-time.The tough part about real estate is that you are either in it, or you are just playing around. My clients needed me in it, and I wasn’t doing anyone any favours by playing around. So in March 2006, I left the big bad company that made me feel like a number (and really….nothing else), and I took the plunge into being a full-time Calgary Real Estate Agent and REALTOR®. I am happy and proud to say, that I have never looked back. I have had the privilege of working with some of the most amazing people I have ever met, and I am so thankful for the repeat business and referrals that drive my business.
I currently reside in Calgary with my wife and 2 children, and I have a passion for golf, volleyball, and Apple products.

Vacuum Central

BizBOXTV: It’s time your Edmonton business gets it’s own web video production to tell it’s story to the world. The Video Revolution is here!
www.discountvacuums.com Edmonton Video – Canada’s #1 online vacuum cleaner store is one of the most recent in which we produced a business profile video for use on the web and however else the client wishes to use it online. BizBOXTV has had the opportunity to work with a variety of businesses in virtually all industries on their Edmonton web video production needs.
There are a wide variety of choices in styles and features of new and reconditioned vacuum cleaners. Most brands and models are solidly built and will last several years without maintenance problems. The choice in models comes down to your specific needs and tastes.
Major attributes to consider include:
1. Type
Make sure you consider what types of surfaces you’ll be cleaning. Take in to account any pets, allergies, children or brand preference as your choice of the type of vacuum cleaner will depend on it.
2. Filtration
- We live surrounded in filth. It’s a fact. All humans shed about 5-10 grams of dead skin each week. About 80% of the material seen floating in a sunbeam is actually flakes of skin.
- What do house dust mites eat? Human and animal skin flakes (Dermatophagoides – “skin eater”).
- Dust mites are too small to be seen but are the most common cause of year-round allergy and asthma.
- Dust mites live in mattresses, pillows, carpets, furniture, bedcovers, clothes – anywhere they can feed on dead flakes of human skin.
- We have a wide range of products to attack dust mites in your home.
- HEPA Vacuum Cleaners trap the dust mite allergen inside the bag instead of exhausting it into the air. HEPA vacuum cleaners are sealed tight and won’t allow your dust mites to filter through your vacuum back into your air
3. Attachments – Make sure it has the attachments you need, but don’t pay for those you don’t .For convenience, you might want on-board attachments. Natural bristle brushes are superior as they tend not to scratch delicate surfaces.
4. Noise – Some people place a great deal of importance on noise considerations. To respond to this, some models have insulated materials around the motors.
Types:
- Upright versus Canister – Uprights are quick and easy to store but are not always as effective. Canister tend to be more versatile.
- Central – Extremely convenient however some people find the hose can be difficult to control. Some older homes can not have a central vacuum.
- Stick/Broom Vacuum – Stick vacuums look like stream-lined uprights. They usually have less power than uprights and canisters and are ideal for people in small apartments and quick pick ups.
- Handhelds – Handhelds are very small vacuums (usually battery operated) for use in cleaning up specific spots that may be difficult to reach with other vacuums.
Other attributes to consider are listed below.
Attributes:
-
Motor Power (amps) – Measures the amount of current used by the motor. Higher amps doesn’t necessarily mean more cleaning power. Airflow and suction power are a truer test of effectiveness.
-
Air Flow – Usually measured in cfm (cubic feet per minute)
-
Suction Power -is measured in inches of water column or water lift. This does not mean you can suck up water though.
-
Filtration System – The level of filtration varies from none (use a bag to collect dust) to sophisticated (filter out pollen and particles less than 1 micron). Units with filtration systems generally cost more, but can be effective in reducing allergen in the home. HEPA filters claim to capture 99.97% of all particles at .3 micron. A HEPA filter most be independently certified be cautious as not all HEPA filters are tested.
-
Dust Collector– Can be a bag (thick paper) or bagless with a plastic container. Bagless still have a filter which requires changing from time to time. There is a new product called randomly spun nylon fibre bags. These are superior quality and capture 94.5% of all particles at .3 micron
-
Construction – Can be plastic or metal. Metal vacuum cleaners are usually more durable but are heavier. There are 2 types of plastic. ABS plastic is more durable and handles more abuse. Solid rubber wheels are superior to plastic as they tend not to scratch delicate surfaces.
-
Cord length – Make sure that the cord is long enough for you to effectively clean one area of you home without having to change outlets.
-
Brush Agitator or Power Head (roller brush) – The roller with bristles under the machine that spins when the machine is on. It increases the cleaning effectiveness on carpets. All brush is preferred as the other kind may damage the carpet over time.
-
Edge Cleaner – Some models have vacuum areas that extend to the edge of the bottom of the machine for cleaning tight edges if you don’t have this a crevice tool would be required
-
Other Tools – Detachable hose, extensions, upholstery brushes, corner cleaners. Some units have caddies to hold all the tools.

Walking down the streets of Old Strathcona is a journey into the past. It’s all here — more than 100 years of glorious history that began in 1891, when the Calgary and Edmonton Railway Company decided to complete its line from Calgary to a terminus south of the banks of the North Saskatchewan River. Despite pressure to cross the river and end the line at Edmonton, the company wanted to monopolize the benefits of future land sales and so created a new settlement it called South Edmonton.”
